I’ve been working as an estate planning attorney in State A for the last 4 years. My husband just got his dream job (very high paying, lots of career opp for him) in State B. We’re still deciding what makes most sense for our family, but we’re leaning toward heading to State B. Anyone have any experience with this - moving states when EP can be so state specific? I’m worried how I’ll market myself/find a new job/start over.

How different are the states? I think you would be able to pick it up quickly. It's having to sit for the bar again that I would find challenging.

I moved from NY to FL and I think the basic concepts are all the same. You just need to learn any state specific quirks and of course, estate taxation exemptions. Good luck!
